+Subject: [PATCH] build: restore ability to control verbosity settings

+`make V=1` is broken — no commands are printed whatsoever. At the
+same time, `make V=0` *also* is broken in that no summary lines
+("CC  foo.o") are printed, either. Kill the annoying hardcoded
+--quiet in configure.ac, since it seems to override everything that
+automake offers.
